Dear Sir
As one of the Executors of the last Will of Anna Dodd who was the widow of John Dodd late of this Town deceased I wish to ascertain the condition of her application for a Pension - I have been informed that in her life time she made her Declaration for the purpose of obtaining a Pension in consideration of the services of her Husband John Dodd during the Revolutionary war, and I am unable to ascertain the condition of the application from any one in this place - If not to much trouble and if consistent with your duties I would thank you to inform me the particulars regarding it, what further proof is wanting, and if by the present pension laws it is possible to obtain a Pension by producing further proof of the services of the said John Dodd
Respectfully your ob t Serv t
John S Blackman Executor

Cambridge, March 9 1841
Dear Sir
In answer to yours of the 13 th of March I have to inform you that it is not in my power to furnish the proof you require. Such as the Commission showing that John Dadd, Deceased was a deputy Commissioner. I had his discharge from the publick Service in my possession, at the time I forwarded the papers. I could not find the discharge it got lost. I find revolutionary documents among his papers but none that will afford evidence relative to his revolutionary services.
Yours Respectfully James Dadd
To Sir Edwards Esq. Commissioner of Pensions
